On Aug. 14, Balfour Beatty Construction presented SafePath’s 2014 Good Eatin’ Great Cause event at the Cobb Galleria Centre. WSB-TV News Anchor Craig Lucie served as the event’s media host. The event featured restaurants throughout Cobb County including Capers, Chicken and the Egg, Common Quarter, Fusco’s Via Roma, Henry’s Louisiana Grill, Seed and Taqueria Tsunami.

The evening also consisted of an “Iron Chef” style cook off competition between Cobb County Public Safety Teams judged by Chef Asha Gomez, Chef Holly Wulfing Chute, and Chef Gerry Klaskala. SafePath and Balfour Beatty Construction were proud to announce Cobb County Fire Department as the 2014 Iron Skillet Champions. Their cooking team was mentored by Chef Jessica Ray. In addition to all the culinary fun, the event also provided education and awareness to SafePath’s vision: a community free of child abuse.

MUST Ministries recently completed its Summer Lunch program. With the help of volunteers, 254,906 sack lunches were delivered to hungry children in just 10 weeks. MUST served meals in eight counties this year.

Cobb County’s active community of individuals, leaders, churches, businesses, clubs, neighborhoods, schools and others came together and fed thousands of children each week day that required shoppers, bag decorators, packers, checkers, drivers, coordinators and more. The outreach touched as many as 6,100 children each day.
